If anyone is interested, Almeida Theatre & British Museum have teamed up for a live 16hr reading of The Illiad with a fantastic cast list (Simon Russell Beale, Brian Cox, Ben Wishaw, Kate Fleetwood, Rory Kinnear, Bertie Carvel etc) Directed by Rupert Goold & Robert Icke. They're at the British Museum for the day them move to the theatre at 8pm for the final chapters. If anyone wants to dip in, it's live streaming all day.

Anyone seen any of this? No? Bertie Carvel, Rory Kinnear and Ben Wishaw were extraordinary.

I caught Oliver Chris and a few others who I wasn't familiar with earlier. Very cool stuff.

Oh I can't believe I didn't know this was happening! Any way to access the stream? ANY way?
